Athens - Crete - London 2011

St. Pancras Church, London

 

In the vaulted, underground burial space of St. Pancras Church, London, amid an evocative sound installation, a sequence of three actual boats - found objects, stripped down to expose the raw wood - are filled with snakes and human figures made of steel and with steel sculptures of crows, near a hive space where white paper sculptures of bees hover in the air like migrating souls.
